A small survey found that stress among pregnant women has tripled since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
Limperopoulos, who is also the head of the Center for the Developing Brain at Children's National Health System in Washington, D.C., has surveyed pregnant women about their stress levels regularly since 2014. Based on 163 responses from before the pandemic, 18 percent reported moderate to high levels of anxiety; 12 percent reported symptoms of depression; and 26 percent said they felt stressed.
Among the 35 responses, 50 percent had moderate to high levels of anxiety; 35 percent felt depressed; and 71 percent were moderately to highly stressed. Keri Toner, 33, of Washington, D.C., said the pandemic added an unprecedented level of stress. Her daughter, Lennon, was born a month ago.It was her first pregnancy, which was"already a stress-provoking time," Toner recalled."Then pandemic hit. You really feel like you've lost control."
